Welcome to APMA 1650 - Statistical Inference I

APMA 1650 is a rigorous first course in probability and mathematical statistics with applications. The course includes a self-contained introduction to probability theory, and statistical methods are derived from their probabilistic roots. The course provides the background and is a prerequisite for many other courses concerning probability and statistics in the Division of Applied Mathematics, and other departments. The successful student will be in a good position to understand new and more complex statistical methods, to critically evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and the appropriateness of existing statistical methodologies. They will also have the foundation to learn to apply these principles in new settings.
